"The major petroleum strikes that began the rapid growth in petroleum exploration and speculation occurred in Southeast Texas, but soon reserves were found across Texas and wells were constructed in North Texas, East Texas, and the Permian Basin in West Texas. Although limited reserves of oil had been struck during the 19th century, the strike at Spindletop near Beaumont in 1901 gained national attention, spurring exploration and development that continued through the 1920s and beyond. Spindletop and the Joiner strike in East Texas, at the outset of the Great Depression, were the key strikes that launched this era of change in the state."

Number of ships commissioned to columbus

mr_godi [17]

At the end of the century, in 1492, Spain’s Queen Isabella commissioned the Genoese Christopher Columbus to undertake a voyage with three ships and some 100 men to find a new route to the East Indies and to set up a trading post for further expansion. This voyage led him to the shores of San Salvador in the Bahamas. Convinced that he had landed in the Indies, he named the indigenous people Indians. The continent, however, was named after a Florentine merchant, Amerigo Vespucci, who traveled there nine years later under the Portuguese flag. In one of his letters to his patron, he wrote that he had discovered Mundus Novus, the New World that had been unknown to their ancestors.
